  <head>

     

     <style>

        span {

           color: green;

        }

     </style>

     

     <script>

        function showHint(str) {

           if (str.length == 0) {

              document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";

              return;

           }else {

              var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();



              xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

                 if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {

                    document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;

                 }

              }

              xmlhttp.open("GET", "php_ajax.php?q=" + str, true);

              xmlhttp.send();

           }

        }

     </script>

  <body>

     

     <p><b>Search your favourite tutorials:</b></p>

     

     <form>

        <input type = "text" onkeyup = "showHint(this.value)">

     </form>

     

     <p>Entered Course name: <span id="txtHint"></span></p>

  

  </body>

</html>

Above code opens a file, name called as php_ajax.php by using with GET method, so we need to create a file, name called as php_ajax.php in the same directory and out put will be attached with txtHint.

php_ajax.php

It contained array of course names and it returns the value to web browser.

<?php

  // Array with names

  $a[] = "Android";

  $a[] = "B programming language";

  $a[] = "C programming language";

  $a[] = "D programming language";

  $a[] = "euphoria";

  $a[] = "F#";

  $a[] = "GWT";

  $a[] = "HTML5";

  $a[] = "ibatis";

  $a[] = "Java";

  $a[] = "K programming language";

  $a[] = "Lisp";

  $a[] = "Microsoft technologies";

  $a[] = "Networking";

  $a[] = "Open Source";

  $a[] = "Prototype";

  $a[] = "QC";

  $a[] = "Restful web services";

  $a[] = "Scrum";

  $a[] = "Testing";

  $a[] = "UML";

  $a[] = "VB Script";

  $a[] = "Web Technologies";

  $a[] = "Xerox Technology";

  $a[] = "YQL";

  $a[] = "ZOPL";

  

  $q = $_REQUEST["q"];

  $hint = "";

  

  if ($q !== "") {

     $q = strtolower($q);

     $len = strlen($q);

     

     foreach($a as $name) {



        if (stristr($q, substr($name, 0, $len))) {

           if ($hint === "") {

              $hint = $name;

           }else {

              $hint .= ", $name";

           }

        }

     }

  }

  echo $hint === "" ? "Please enter a valid course name" :$hint;

?>

PHP – Ajax XML Parser

Ajax XML Example

Using with Ajax we can parser xml from local directory as well as servers, Below example demonstrate how to parser xml with web browser.

<html>

  <head>

  

     <script>

        function showCD(str) {

           if (str == "") {

              document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";

              return;

           }

           

           if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

              // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari

              xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

           }else {  

              // code for IE6, IE5

              xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

           }

           

           xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

              if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {

                 document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML= xmlhttp.responseText;

              }

           }

           xmlhttp.open("GET","getcourse.php?q="+str,true);

           xmlhttp.send();

        }

     </script>

  

  </head>

  <body>

     

     <form>

        Select a Course:

        <select name = "cds" onchange = "showCD(this.value)">

           <option value = "">Select a course:</option>

           <option value = "Android">Android </option>

           <option value = "Html">HTML</option>

           <option value = "Java">Java</option>

           <option value = "Microsoft">MS technologies</option>

        </select>

     </form>

     

     <div id = "txtHint"><b>Course info will be listed here...</b></div>

     

  </body>

</html>

The above example will call getcourse.php using with GET method. getcourse.php file loads catalog.xml. getcourse.php is as shown below −

<?php

  $q = $_GET["q"];

  

  $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

  $xmlDoc->load("catalog.xml");

  

  $x = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('COURSE');

  

  for ($i = 0; $i<=$x->length-1; $i++) {

     =

     if ($x->item($i)->nodeType == 1) {

        if ($x->item($i)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue == $q) {

           $y = ($x->item($i)->parentNode);

        }

     }

  }



  $cd = ($y->childNodes);

  

  for ($i = 0;$i<$cd->length;$i++) {

     if ($cd->item($i)->nodeType == 1) {

        echo("<b>" . $cd->item($i)->nodeName . ":</b> ");

        echo($cd->item($i)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue);

        echo("<br>");

     }

  }

?>

Catalog.xml

XML file having list of courses and details.This file is accessed by getcourse.php

PHP – Ajax Auto Complete Search

Auto Complete Search

The Auto complete search box provides the suggestions when you enter data into the field. Here we are using xml to call auto complete suggestions. The below example demonstrate, How to use auto complete text box using with php.

Index page

Index page should be as follows −

<html>

  <head>

     

     <style>

        div {

           width:240px;

           color:green;

        }

     </style>

     

     <script>

        function showResult(str) {



           if (str.length == 0) {

              document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML= "";

              document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border= "0px";

              return;

           }

           

           if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

              xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

           }else {

              xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

           }

           

           xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {



              if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {

                 document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;

                 document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border = "1px solid #A5ACB2";

              }

           }

           

           xmlhttp.open("GET","livesearch.php?q="+str,true);

           xmlhttp.send();

        }

     </script>

     

  </head>

  <body>

     

     <form>

        <h2>Enter Course Name</h2>

        <input type = "text" size = "30" onkeyup = "showResult(this.value)">

        <div id = "livesearch"></div>

        <a href = "http://www.tecklearn.com">More Details </a>

     </form>

     

  </body>

</html>

livesearch.php

It is used to call the data from xml file and it will send the result to web browsers.

<?php

  $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

  $xmlDoc->load("autocomplete.xml");

  $x = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link');

  $q = $_GET["q"];

  

  if (strlen($q)>0) {

     $hint = "";

     

     for($i = 0; $i>($x->length); $i++) {

        $y = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title');

        $z = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('url');

        

        if ($y->item(0)->nodeType == 1) {

           if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q)) {



              if ($hint == "") {

                 $hint = "<a href = '" . $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "' target='_blank'>" .

                 $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";

              }else {

                 $hint = $hint . "<br/><a href = '" .

                 $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "' target='_blank'>" .

                 $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";

              }

           }

        }

     }

  }



  if ($hint == "") {

     $response = "Please enter a valid name";

  }else {

     $response = $hint;

  }

  echo $response;

?>

autocomplete.xml

PHP – Ajax RSS Feed Example

RSS

Really Simple Syndication is used to publish often updated information from website like audio, video, images, etc. We can integrate RSS feeds to a website by using Ajax and php. This code demonstrates how to show RSS feeds in our site.

Index.html

Index page should be as follows −

<html>

  <head>

     

     <script>

        function showRSS(str) {

           if (str.length == 0) { 

              document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "";

              return;

           }

        

           if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

              xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

           }else {

              xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

           }

           xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

              if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {

                 document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;

              }

           }

           

           xmlhttp.open("GET","rss.php?q="+str,true);

           xmlhttp.send();

        }

     </script>

     

  </head>

  

  <body>

     <p>Please Select an option to get RSS:</p>

     

     <form>

        <select onchange = "showRSS(this.value)">

           <option value = "">Select an RSS-feed:</option>

           <option value = "bbc">BBC News</option>

           <option value = "pc">PC World</option>

        </select>

     </form>

     <br>

     

     <div id = "output">RSS-feeds</div>

     

  </body>

</html>

rss.php

rss.php has contained syntax about how to get access to rssfeeds and return rss feeds to web pages.

<?php

  $q = $_GET["q"];

  

  if($q == "cnn") {

     $xml = ("http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss");

  }elseif($q == "bbc") {

     $xml = ("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/americas/rss.xml");

  }elseif($q = "pcw"){

     $xml = ("http://www.pcworld.com/index.rss");

  }



  $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

  $xmlDoc->load($xml);

  

  $channel = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0);

  

  $channel_title = $channel->getElementsByTagName('title')

  ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

  

  $channel_link = $channel->getElementsByTagName('link')

  ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

  

  $channel_desc = $channel->getElementsByTagName('description')

  ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

  

  echo("<p><a href = '" . $channel_link . "'>" . 

     $channel_title . "</a>");

  echo("<br>");

  echo($channel_desc . "</p>");

  

  $x = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('item');

  

  for ($i = 0; $i<=2; $i++) {

     $item_title = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title')

     ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

     

     $item_link = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('link')

     ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

     

     $item_desc = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('description')

     ->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

     

     echo ("<p><a href = '" . $item_link . "'>" .
